we always knew that wisconsin would be more challenging for us this year. we won by 14 points four years ago, but we have a great ground game here. we have bruce springsteen here in the background playing and we're confidence that tomorrow when the polls close, wisconsin is going to be in the column for the president. >> more than 29 million people have voted early. democrats have had a very strong ground game. do you think that that has been the advantage, the ground game and then the early voting? for battleground states? >> absolutely. ground game is the heart and soul of this operation. it always has been. president started his career as a community organizer and that's been the focus. kind of that door to door, neighbor to neighbor get your friends, your cousins out and when we win tomorrow, that's going to be the reason why. we are ahead in early vote and almost every swing state and that gives us a great advantage going into tomorrow, but we still need everybody to get out there, to go to the polls. wait in line because this matters and the stakes ar

we should have someone from "the washington post" within us. thanks for being with us. i want to start with you. what do you think, what will be the final story on early voting's role in this election? >> i think the story is going that republicans wound up turning out as many early voters as the president. and the reason i say that is that the restrictions on early voting in florida have produce ad lot of anger particularly in black churches who took full advantage of the full days they had out of anger at the impression that republicans are trying to limit the right to vote. >> i know you did some digging specifically into some early voting numbers in ohio. talk to me a little bit about that. what did you find? >> we found if you look at the counties that went for obama last time there's a lead before 900,000 to 400,000. if those voting patterns hold and they could break for romney you just don't know but if they hold it shows incredible mobilization among obama voters. i know we're short on time. there's a sentiment that was touched on last time they were trying to s

you make use of them as they are. but the thing to remember here i think that has been overlooked a little bit is that when democrats were in the minority in this senate, they were very wary of reforming the filibuster. joe biden said that filibuster reforms are about the arrogance of power. and harry reid said reforming the filibuster was a bad idea because it was sort of the last protection on individual rights. it was the last protection against abuses of power in washington. and if democrats try this now, then it's -- there is a good chance it could come back to bite them again in the future hen they are inevitably at some point in the minority. >> you know, mara, just real quickly, i think the point you raise about bernstein is a good one. it depends on the issue. if you're filibustering for example, obama care, there is no doubt a lot of the republican grassroots would rally behind it, and i think that would be good for democracy. i'm not talking about eliminating the entire rule. but if you're talking about shu
